All hell is about to break loose!

That is what I thought yesterday around 11 AM when I looked out of my office where the scenery usually looks like this in early summer:

Normal

Instead, it looked like this:

Scary

Scarier

(Note: Yes, Crappy photos I know. Besides having to shoot through tinted office building glass windows, as noted earlier, my camera sucks! But I have a new beauty that arrived today. More on that later)

Seemingly out of nowhere, dark clouds had gathered, ominously poised over where I was. It looked pretty awesome and scary. Like I said, I sweared, Jeez, All hell is about to break loose!

And all I immediately thought of this (awesome, awesome) song Stormbringer by Deep Purple (ah! takes me back to my college days), – with its ominous lyrics, and pulsating hard guitar sound:

Watch/Listen to it here:

Note: That is a cover band. They have done an awesome, awesome job!

Stormbringer – Deep Purple
Comin out of nowhere drivin like rain
Stormbringer dance on the thunder again.
Dark cloud gathering breaking the day
No point running cause its coming your way.

Epilogue:
All hell did not break loose – at least not where I was 🙂 ! For all the posturing, Stormbringer decided to take it North and East of us for that one. O’Hare airport got like 3.5 inches of rain or so in a short time due to that storm. We (at home) got nailed by a one later that day.

Oh and btw, this is how storms come about in the midwest – usually during spring. Shock and Awe. Stormbringer dance on the thunder every year, many times.

Stormbringer is one of their best songs IMO, along with Black Night, Hush, Strange Kind of Woman, Highway Star, Burn and Fireball. I love the rhythm guitar riff that runs through the Stormbringer and the excellent drums work. There’s a captivating and mesmerizing lead as well. Truly a DP classic! Enjoy the music and drive safe! 🙂Arun: Thanks! Yes there are many DP classics. Stormbringer is somewhat underrated.
